No Deaf Driver can see the red flashing at bright daylight. I always pay attention to drivers that would give me hints like slow down and pull over.
Plus my eyes are too exhausted to check the rear mirrors every 10 seconds...

Who cares if you received a speeding ticket. Some police cars does have blue flashing signal (no red flashing). Others in their personal-own vechiles without installed flashing signals have right to pull over anyone.

A few months ago, I got three tickets that would cost me $350 plus court fees. I went to the courtroom with ASL interpreter and the judge waived them but fined me for $50. Lucky, they did not charge points on my driving record. I am glad that the judge finally understood my situation that my four years old son could unlock his seatbelt while he was trying to communicate me. However, the police office caught us in a matter of time. I exactly understood why the judge would fine me since there are many people listening in the courtroom. If he did not fine me, the citizens would protest over my son's safety and the media probably pick up the news....

Ms CAdeafpolitcs, you are not telling your whole story. You have to accept it and pay the consequences. Or you may challenge it in courtroom..... Do not make worse for the deaf drivers or we will have a hell problem from the public. I do not have any problem with current visual light emergency...Shut your fingers and accept it.

No one is above the law. Give me a break....
